    Description

    Caspofungin (MK-0991) diacetate is a potent antifungal agent. Caspofungin diacetate inhibits the synthesis of the fungal cell wall component β-(l,3)-D-glucan[1][2].

    In Vivo

    Caspofungin diacetate (1-8 mg/kg; i.p.; daily, for 7 days) is able to penetrate the CNS in mice and achieve concentrations that result in the reduction of Candida burden in the brain[1].
    Caspofungin diacetate (0.41-41 μM; i.p.; for 5 weeks; male C57BL/6 mice) is a safe antifungal agent at vitreal concentrations of 0.41 to 4.1 μM in mice[2].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Model: Complement component 5-deficient DBA/2N mice[1]
    Dosage: 1, 2, 4 and 8 mg/kg
    Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; daily, for 7 days
    Result: Reduced the concentration of Candida load in the brain.
    Animal Model: Male C57BL/6 mice[2]
    Dosage: 0.41, 1.2, 2.5, 4.1, and 41 μM
    Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; for 5 weeks
    Result: Had nonsignificant alterations in their ERG waveforms from 0.41 to 4.1 μM.

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (2.06 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (1.71 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

    For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
